>Intranet: Intranet should only be set to "<TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>Yes</B
></TT
>" if you cannot access PostNuke with a fully-qualified host name (for example, http://www.yoursite.com). Setting Intranet to "<TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>Yes</B
></TT
>" removes a number of security levels from PostNuke. It is NOT recommended to run in this mode unless you are behind a firewall and users are not permitted to access the site from outside the firewall. Entry example: "<TT
CLASS="userinput"
><B
>No</B
></TT
>"
</P
></LI
></UL
><P
>Another option for Intranet use without the need to set Intranet to "Yes" is as follows: Administrators can simulate a domain name by adding the IP address of the site and the desired domain name of the site to a HOSTS file (usually /etc/hosts for *NIX, under C:\WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc for Windows NT/2000/XP).

>IMPORTANT NOTE: Under Windows, be certain to modify the 'hosts' file and NOT 'lmhosts'. 'lmhosts' is for NetBIOS names.

>For example, a HOSTS file entry might look like:</P
><P
><PRE
CLASS="programlisting"
>192.26.128.3 triton triton.tatooine.com</PRE
></P
><P
>This means that typing http://triton or http://triton.tatooine.com would be pointed to 192.26.128.3. Hence, the site can be loaded on an Intranet without the need to downgrade security.
